Twitter is angry today, my friends.
The only copyrights that matter to schools are their own.
Twitter is angry today, my friends.
Numerous big college football accounts are being suspended for using too many copyrighted songs in videos and all the penalties are hitting them at once. Tons of schools are getting hit and deleting all their content with popular songs. Missouri, Georgia, Texas, and more.

“... Shoot, why does anybody who’s ever won something do it again? Because it’s cool. So, let’s go do it again. Let’s see if we’ve got what it takes.” -- Stetson Bennett, The Athletic, 3/22/22
Hilarious. But but but … we’re a non profit.

Schools had their Twitter accounts suspended on national signing day.

Perfect timing as Twitter knows the situation will get resolved this morning. Otherwise, the schools would’ve sat on it.

Is this the @FootballUGA and @UGAAthletics accounts? I guess I just haven’t been paying attention, but all I tend to see are the images.

I saw that Texas’ account was suspended/reinstated yesterday.

If a student commits to a school and Twitter isn’t there to tweet about it, does it still count?

What did we do before Twitter? Oh, I know! We had a President who communicated straightforward with the public without resorting to unconstitutional threats via Twitter.
Georgia seemed to get the word out before we had Twitter using the media. Can they be trusted to get it correct this time also?

You are a good case for why ganja should never get legalized, the impact has to be the cause of your political confusion. Transparency in the prior administration, that is a good one. And now after all the ridiculous speculation about Russian interference in the election just to find it was all on the Dims (who are more the subversives we should wary of all along. Of course, we knew that anyway didn’t we?)

Yes, you have a ticket but now you pay a ticket processing fee at the gate.

To be fair, the academic side of the house does an even worse job with copyright than athletics. Most professors and even some deans have an incredibly expansive interpretation of “fair use.”

Does this mean no more shitty rap songs on the video board?
